Life Writing a will - Page 2

Msmith · 03-28-2011, 11:14 AM

Just got back from the funeral of a friend's mom. She didn't write a will and she had several kids. It gets me thinking: I do not have a will either.

To have a legit will, do you need a lawyer, or some simple one printed from the computer?

This winter, one of my best friends died in a car fire, and within a month another was in a bad accident and is pretty much a quad now.

I've been putting it off, but brideowanian and I had our will done, and put our wishes in a living will as well.

If you've got kids, or any property at all, it's a responsible thing to do, and a gift to the person who will be in charge of cleaning up your financial life if something happens.

I think it cost me $250 total and I think it's worth every dime if something should happen to myself or both of us.

It will make you think, it IS a reality check and it's not really an awesome experience...but it's worth doing if you've ever known someone who has died without one.

If you can get one done for 250, do it now.
